   77 Troy Coughlin                          57 Joshua Hernandez             
E1                   0.112 27.878 668.31     ****WINNER****  0.069  6.096 231.44

Coughlin's car shook and spun the tires hard, then coasted throug, stopping on the hill in the shutdown area. Hernandez easily set low ET of the round and will have lane choice against Critchley in the semifinals.

 Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed-----Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT----ET---Speed
    1 Mike Ashley                           671 Glen Kerunsky                
E1   ****WINNER****  0.018  6.280 226.58                     0.060  6.277 227.23

Two good runs, but Ashley took the holeshot win with an excellent reaction time. However, we was off his usual pace and will not have lane choice when he faces Payne in the semifinals. Mike Ashley's incremental margins: 60ft(0.056), 330 ft(0.037), 660ft(0.042), 1,000ft(0.043). MOV: 0.0392 seconds (approximately 13 feet).
